Durable targeting of B-lymphocytes in living mice

Abstract Transfer to and enduring expression of genes in B cells has proved a vexing challenge. We report here a novel method for the specific and durable targeting of B lymphocytes in living mice. The method involves generation of lentiviruses pseudotyped with an anti-CD19 antibody. CD19 targeting...
